Just Do Something!!!

D Day has arrived. The Electorate College will vote. Lay people and grassroots organizations are fired up and have appealed to them to not to confirm donald trump, therefore validating foreign interference in the process of our government, namely our elections. So what are the Dems going to do? What are they saying? Crickets...  I am so over this woe is me', we are the victims, Democrats are doormats stuff! JUST DO SOMETHING!!!

We don't need our elected officials to rant and post the injustices or the latest findings on Facebook or other social media networks, WE'VE GOT THAT COVERED!!!! What we DO need you all to do is to take some measure, make some noise, take a JOINT position at least giving those who call ourselves Democrats something to be proud of, let us know that we are NOT in a party of WUSSES', because that is how it feels. 

I am more ashamed of the apathy of our party than I am of the Russians who have done what hostile governments do, HACK their adversaries. However for US, American politicians on either side of the aisle, to act like it is OK, is more disheartening than I can say. To not be moved to action when daily we are informed of some new form of imminent danger we are in and for our parties to just seem paralyzed, inept or unwilling to do anything about what is clearly a coup taking place right before our very eyes, with bribes and dollars instead of bullets, thereby conceding to a crazed dictator, who by the way only has that power we concede to him, is BEYOND RECKLESS and quite damn disturbing!!!

I am a lay person and off the top of my head I suggest that the Dems, the DNC or whatever persons or bodies of authority can do all or any of the following:

1 - File a petition for injunction halting the electoral process, demanding a new election in light of undisputed interference by a foreign government, an election reflecting the voice of the American people NOT Russia. To discuss the motive for the interference is NOT the issue but is a convenient distraction. That they interfered IS the issue!

2 - Write an open letter to the Electoral College appealing to their sense of duty and reminding them of their mandate to protect us from presidential harm which in this case is already leading to instability with China relations.

3 - PUBLICLY challenge the patriotism of trump and any republican who dares to side with Russia and the KGB in the face of what SEVENTEEN US intelligence agencies is reporting, INCLUDING the CIA. (As the FBI does not come with clean hands, they lack credence in this matter... ) Flip the script. Give the republicans some of their own medicine. Challenge their patriotism. Put them in a position where they will have to publicly defend taking any such position, now or at the time of their next bid for re-election.

4- Tell HRC to stop licking her wounds and and come out swinging like only she and Bill know how! Based on current and new data, she should rescind her concession, which amounts to nothing more than a "gentleman's" agreement in the face of lies and deceit!

5 - Dems should align themselves with grassroots efforts already in progress

6- Call a press conference of all Dems, inviting all sane republicans to join in, declaring their objection to an "election" decided by a foreign government, friendly to the US or not! Such interference is unacceptable. We tell our children ZERO TOLERANCE for far less, surely foreign interference and espionage make rank. Surely!!!! That is what the American people NEED to hear!!!

Again, I am just a lay person. I don't have the skills, knowledge or resources that the Democratic party has. If I can stretch my mind to come up with these suggestions, surely our elected officials can come up with SOMETHING that says to WE THE PEOPLE, to the world that is looking at us in utter disbelief as we have TOLERATED & ALLOWED the presence and tolerance of one man to take us from a place of international respect restored by the Obama administration to one of the world's greatest international laughing stock!

As trump has employed nothing but the unconventional and unprecedented, to reduce us to our new standing, we need not feel bound by that which is conventional or precedent to get us out of this mess. Meet him and the greedy, shallow repugnant arm of the republican party right where they are! STOP with patting ourselves on the back for having taken the high road. Who cares? Where has that gotten us? When in the pit with snakes, stop pretending they are worms! Spit back with venom. Make it sweet venom but venom nonetheless!!! No one is on that high road but us. Whose passing you? Who is in your rear view mirror? ONLY other Democrats! Sometimes taking a detour is not only acceptable, more importantly, it is required...

WE ARE AMERICANS who are fed up! We are NOT victims! So stop acting as such and stop telling us to behave as such or to just suck it up so that we can all just get along. Rodney King is dead and at times like these, so is that line of thinking. trump is a bully and behaves like a dictator. Why? Because we, the press, elected officials and others are responding to him as such. Last I heard we are still a democracy. We are Americans who tell the rest of the world to fight and stand up against their governments for what they believe. We intrude and dismantle other governments presumably to save nations from dictators and coup attempts, yet we are willing to sit back and allow our government to be dismantled by the whims of a bonafide mad man aided by a desperate and conniving American political party and a foreign government. Really??? Come On Speaker Pelosi. You just fought to maintain your seat, now DO SOMETHING with it!!!

I called several Democratic offices over the past few days. I encourage anyone reading this to do the same. Lift OUR Voice, the voice of WE THE PEOPLE. Can't say it loud or often enough! We are looking to our elected officials to DO SOMETHING!!! Even if you guys lose, at least lose trying!!!! Again, I am more disgusted with the Democrats right now than I am with the Russians. I don't expect them to look out for my well being. I DO however, expect at least that much from my American government, from my political party!!!



JUST DO SOMETHING!!!!

  1. Ms. Higgi has hit it out of the park once again. The high road has put us in a ditch. Fighting fairly is great when everyone operations within the same parameter and agrees to defined actions. The Tea Party was formed by conservatives who took unconventional measures to influence the direction of a party that seem to fail them. We need to either push back or pull from weak Dems & Reps by forming the Stamp Party, after the protest again the Stamp Act of 1765. To "stamp out" the B.S. that has arisen from this election. Stamping denotes imprinting and/or impressing the importance of democratic values and the ideals of America. Fighting against the taxing (burdening the poor and middle class by the 1% and their agents. "Government without representation of the People's interests is tyranny." People over profit!
